Kabocha - Chicago
Michelin-starred chef Shin Thompson (for the now-shuttered Bonsoiree) teams up with restaurateur Ryan O'Donnell (Gemini Bistro) for a concept blending American contemporary, French and Japanese influences.
Dishes are categorized as small, medium and large, and menu highlights include duck confit & fennel pot stickers, asari-steamed clams, and whole fried fish of the day, which comes with red rice and fermented black bean chili sause.
